I'm pretty sure that's still a female Dickcissel, just like it was back on December 23. She's the gift that keeps on giving! :-)
Huh. Well, one of three things is wacky here:
1) The bird was misidentified back on December 23.
2) It's misidentified now.
3) One or the other of the pictures was accidentally switched.
Because I'm willing to put money on it that this is the same photo that was identified as a Dickcissel on December 23.
Also, I think you neglected to close the 'strike' tag. I'm getting strikethroughed text all the way down the page.
Welcome back! :-)
